Truck runs great!. It was an emergency, someone removed 4 lugs on my back tire, tire came off had to have it towed to them, they fixed it the very next day. Thank you for taking great care of my truck after that malicious act!

Everyone was very friendly and the waiting room was small but clean. They did not try to up sell me anything. They checked my car to see what was the proper oil and charged a very fair price. I had an appointment and was in and out in a timely manner.

Came in for a quick oil change and your team made time in a busy day to change my faulty front breaks so I could use my truck this weekend... even changed my 3rd break light bulb. Thanks for going the extra mile and getting me back on the road for the weekend!
